I was a cowboy in the wild west. I rode for many days without a rest. A swig of whiskey and a thought of you, were the only things that got me through. You'll be with me wherever rivers roll, you'll be with me wherever wind still blows. I was a pilot in a world war, taking fire off a foreign shore. A cigarette and photograph of you, were the only things that got me through. You'll be with me wherever rivers roll, you'll be with me wherever wind still blows. I was a singer in a touring band, with nothing going quite the way I planned. A pint of beer and then a call to you, were the only things that got me through. You'll be with me wherever rivers roll, you'll be with me wherever wind still blows.
